How fun would it be to go on a homeschool field trip to Switzerland? That’d be living the dream, right? Unfortunately for many homeschoolers, traveling like that is not a possibility. There is a way to bring Switzerland to your homeschool, though. All you need is the Destination Switzerland Unit Study from CASE OF ADVENTURE.

*Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this unit study as well as compensation for my time. This review reflects my honest thoughts and opinions. I was not required to give a positive review.

Destination Switzerland by CASE OF ADVENTURE

CASE OF ADVENTURE has created a unit study that helps bring Switzerland to your homeschool. Not only will your children be immersed in the countries culture and history, but they will also become “Discovery Agents”.

Their mission, should they choose to accept it, is to help solve the mystery of the cuckoo clock as they read through the accompanying book titled “Cuckoo Clock Secrets in Switzerland” by Karyn Collett.

Cuckoo Clock Secrets in Switzerland Mystery Novel

To get an even better understanding of what this mystery novel is about, CASE OF ADVENTURE shares the following description:

Cuckoo Clock Secrets in Switzerland is Book 1 of the CASE OF ADVENTURE Travel Series. “There was a cracking noise and the crumbling of mortar. Rome put his Swiss army knife to work and carefully ran it around the edge of the stone, scraping away the plaster. He signaled to Ren, who pulled harder. Suddenly the whole stone came away from the wall. Together, they slid it out and gazed at the gaping hole that was left behind.”

Dive into adventure with Ren, Rome, Jake, Libby and Tiffany as they discover an ancient coin and a mystery connected with a cuckoo clock which takes them to the beautiful land of Switzerland. In their quest to solve the puzzle, they unearth some fascinating history and recover a lost fortune.

How We Used Adventures in Switzerland Unit Study in Our Homeschool

Every day as part of our morning gathering, we enjoy spending time together with our read aloud’s. This was the perfect opportunity to read the mystery novel, “Cuckoo Clock Secrets in Switzerland”.

After reading each chapter, we spent some time together completing as many of the missions as possible. The missions were assigned at the end of each chapter within the book.

Some of these missions introduced us to famous people such as Albert Einstein and William Tell. Others included fun activities like word search puzzles and secret codes that the kids had to decode using a cipher wheel or Morse Code.

Another thing buyers should know is that there could be a lot of printing and cutting involved depending on which packs you purchase. If you purchase the additional printables pack, you could spend a good chunk of time, ink, and paper on printing.

Luckily, for those who want to save as much time and money as possible, the unit study alone is plenty sufficient.

Thanks so much Jenn, for your fabulous informative review!! We really appreciate it.

🙂 Yes, there are a lot of printables!! What we have done recently, is to streamline the product so that you can complete just the LAPBOOK (older children) or just the ACTIVITIES (young and old) or choose to do both for DESTINATION SWITZERLAND.

You can also now buy the printables from the MEGA Travel Activity Packs as individual packs. You may choose to do only the PASSPORT activities or the use only the TICKET PACK, etc. in your “role play” or pretend play.

The ‘Cuckoo Clock Secrets’ book also a great resource on its own for those who prefer the simply ‘living-book’ approach to learning without all the activities. There is lots of information about Switzerland mixed in with the mystery. Note: the book is written from a Biblical Christian Worldview.

Another great Christian book set in Switzerland, one my mom read to me as a child and which I read to my children, is Treasures of the Snow by Patricia St. John. It is just exceptionally written, really deals with the internal spiritual journey in a beautiful way, and also, has both a girl and boy main character (great for if you have both boys and girls in your family).

I am a homeschooling mom to three crazy beautiful girls and a loving wife to my Star Wars junkie husband. I’m fueled by coffee, art, photography, TV, traveling, and dancing at concerts. I suffer from anxiety but art navigates me through it. I’m an open book and like to keep things real. I live my life on my own terms and could care less if others approve or not. Sometimes my world can be pretty chaotic, but to me that chaos is bliss and I wouldn’t have it any other way!
